Nàstic de Tarragona manager Pablo Alfaro expressed his frustration following a narrow defeat at Algeciras on March 22nd, marking his first loss since taking charge of the Catalan club.

The match at Nuevo Mirador started in the worst possible way for the visitors. An early goal from the home side forced Nàstic to change their tactical approach, leading to a first half where the team struggled to find their rhythm and control the game.

"Everything is disrupted by the opponent's early goal. From there, the game takes a certain direction. In the first half, we struggled to read the game, but in the second, we did it better."

Despite improved offensive pressure in the second half, the equalizer remained elusive. The result leaves Tarragona in the relegation zone, though Alfaro insisted that the squad remains resilient and focused on the upcoming fixtures to reverse their current league standing.
